BATTLE BEAST, the Finnish heavy metal sextet led by front-woman Noora Louhimo, rounded off their 2019 summer festival season with much-celebrated shows at Summer Breeze Open Air (Dinkelsbühl, Germany) as well as Metal On The Hill (Graz, Austria) less than two weeks ago. Watch the aftermovie here:
But before embarking on a US tour (w/ KAMELOT & SONATA ARCTICA among others) next week, the group has announced the support acts for their second »No More Hollywood Endings« European headline tour, which will lead them throughout the continent once again in November & December. Main support will come from modern melodic metal group CYHRA, while opening support on the first 7 dates will be provided by Finnish epic melodic death metallers BRYMIR, whose line-up features BATTLE BEAST guitarist Joona Björkroth. Additionally, a show at F-Haus (Jena, Germany) on December 9 has been added to the tour routing. The full itinerary can be seen below.
Noora comments, “It’s such a pleasure to have CYHRA and BRYMIR to fulfill our evenings of powerful metal party. With their energetic and entertaining shows, they’ll definitely make sure that the audience is going to be hyped through the whole evening and make the stage burning hot for BATTLE BEAST. Be sure to grab your tickets NOW for the »NMHE« EU tour part 2 and go to battlebeast.fi/tour. Let’s kick some aaasssss!”
CYHRA vocalist Jake E. states, “After doing a couple of shows together with BATTLE BEAST earlier this year, it’s a great honor for us to be invited to tag along with this amazing band of incredible musicians on a full tour across Europe, Ireland, and the UK! We can’t wait to play songs from our new album live, and for those that liked our first album… let me tell you this: you won’t be disappointed!”
BRYMIR add, “We are hyped to finally get our show on the road with our new album »Wings Of Fire.« We met so many fans at our first ever German show at Summer Breeze that we can’t wait to come back for more gigs. Catch us on tour with long-time friends BATTLE BEAST & the awesome CYHRA! See you soon, Sweden & Germany!”
